it's what the election is. mark my words, if president obama wins this election, i think he will, i really do believe he'll win, there will be a lame duck session of congress. they will either pass multiyear budget then or agree to conditions to keep the government going while they work on the budget in the next couple months after the election. you will see a much higher level of cooperation because their number one goal, the republicans was as senator mcconnell said was to defeat the president. that's not their goal anymore because he can't run anymore. i believe their number one goal wille either to make progress or hold on to the majority, which they can't do without making progress. then you will see both sides begin to compromise, and work together. you will see this law jam break. >> when we come back, the question we have been asking. bill clinton's big speech at the democratic convention. >> i was young. perhaps i could have done another term. , a proud dad whose online friends all "like" the photos he

[cheers] you deserve a president who will fight to keep it that way. that's the president i've been. that's the president i'll be if you give me a second term. you don't have to take me -- you don't have to take me at my word. you can look at my record. four years ago, i said i'd pass health reform before the end of my first term. thanks to your help, that's what we did. [applause] the new health care law helps make sure you don't have to worry about going broke just because you or a loved one gets sick. insurance companies can no longer put lifetime limits on your care. or jack up your premiums without reason. or drop your coverage when you need it most. they can no longer discriminate against children with pre- existing conditions. and soon they will no longer be able to deny you coverage based on pre-existing conditions like breast cancer
